That's from one of those "facts" emails that are completely untrue except for a few things.

You cannot fold a piece of paper thats less than 4ft by 4ft more than 8 times in half.


"I am." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.

Zero is the only number that cannot be represented by Roman numerals

Sex is one of the safest sports you can take up(if you use a condom). It stretches and tones up just about every muscle in the body. It's more enjoyable than swimming 20 laps, and you don't need special sneakers!

Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being.

Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up.

A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever.

Did you know hamburgers derive their name from the German city of Hamburg, and not pork ham?

The elephant is the only animal with four knees. It is also the only mammal that cannot jump.

A frog swallows with its eyes- they lower and push the food down.

You close your eyes every time you sneeze.

The original Gerber baby grew up to become Jane Seymore.

Opossoms do not play dead, they actually faint from sheer fright.
